Exploring Arkansas December 2016

Arkansas hasn't really been known for alligators, but ever since they were reintroduced in the state, that's steadily been changing. A visit to a swampy lake near Texarkana brings out a few of these pre-historic creatures. One of the best places in the state to experience how life was in a 19th century town, is the Parker Pioneer Homestead located in Whitehall in east Arkansas. One of the state's largest Native American bluff shelters containing petroglyphs happens to be on a golf course in Fairfield Bay. Low Gap Café, south of the Buffalo National River, west of Jasper, is a perfect example that you can't judge a book-or a place by its cover. This five-star restaurant with an acclaimed chef, features a menu filled with lobster, salmon, ahi tuna, shrimp, calamari, steaks, catfish, frog legs and pasta dishes galore!

I have ate at Low Gap and it is probably the best food I have ever had. I will be back.

WHITHALL? By Harrisburg? I used to hang out there. Fly around on the Bell dusting crops and chasing the hawks in the sky. Haha.

I would like to let you know that I sure appreciate you and your show. A lot of these places I would never know existed. And this show helps me plan little getaways for me and my boy.

[@davidwesson8610]

It's delicious. I found it back accident road tripping with my children

Awesome video...Thanks

[@baphomet420]

why would you reintroduce something that can eat you?

[@gwag8410]

Alligators were actually introduced in two small lakes in south Arkansas back in the mid to later 70s.. I lived there at the time, and fished both lakes.
Everyone was questioning why the G&F felt like we needed alligators... and honestly I still do as well.. I actually saw some of the small alligators, and am certain of the time, because I had moved to NW Arkansas, where I’m originally from, and got married in 1980, several years after the alligators in Arkansas experience I had .. 😏👍🏼
